This course offers advanced 21st-century ways of knowing about health and healing-concepts that include yet go beyond ordinary mathematical and logical biomedical science.

In this way, "evidence-based medicine" can become trulyholistic. This course will apply these new transcendent ways of knowing to wellness, prevention, and both "conventional" and "alternativor complementary" healing practices, exploring such diverse phenomena as spontaneous remission of disease, cellular memory in organ transplants, and advanced research and practice methods.
